"Shine On Silver Sun" lyrics - STRAWBS

Once I sat upon a hill to watch the world go by
My friend the young magician had forbidden me to cry
But I was the comedian with the laughs in short supply.

Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun, shine on.

The sunlight filtered softly through the pale and watery sky
To catch the mirrored salmon as it rose to take the fly
The flowers on the riverbank were left alone to die.

Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun, shine on.

The church bells sounded midnight as I rose to say goodbye
And a solitary tear fell from the corner of my eye.

Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun, shine on everyone
Shine on silver sun, shine on, shine on.
